Oregon's bid for a fifth consecutive women's NCAA Indoor Track & Field Championship came into a sharper relief yesterday with the release of qualifiers to next week's meet in Albuquerque, N.M.

If all the qualifiers show up, the Ducks have 12 scoring possibilities. You can look at the breakdown in this release from Oregon and see coach Robert Johnson's second-ranked Ducks have the potential for impact points if everybody is healthy and competes to form.

If Oregon pulls it off, it would be the longest streak of conseutive women's indoor championships since LSU won five straight from 1993-97.

The fourth-ranked UO men have 11 entries, but on paper they don't seem to have the same point potential.
